itīs not that often Sheik Khalifa takes the spotlight, itīs been said that not only does he have his permanent resident in the more peaceful Al-Ain but that he also in many ways admire the older tribal lifestyles as opposed to the more energetic powergroups like the Bani Fatima Al-Nahyans or the Maktoums of Dubai.

His permanent resident is in Abu Dhabi, his weekend house is in Al-Ain where if not mistaken his mother lives.
Sheikh Khalifa has always been out of the spotlight, even in his fathers days. I think he lived where there was someone very powerful doing all the work and meetings where he attended but didnt really do anything much. Now, he seems to only be meeting visiting leaders, opening meetings etc.

So at weekends he returns to the desert Oasis that is Al-Ain, to me it sounds like itīs where his heart is really.
Not that it matters that much given the abundance of bright and ambitious young Royals willing to devote their energies to push the UAE/Abu Dhabi forward the emirate got
